SUN CENTRE: Rhyl Sun Centre is finally back open for business after the big freeze forced it to close for 29 days.

The swimming attraction reportedly lost more than £100,000 in takings missing out on trade from the Easter holidays.

Sub zero temperatures meant it was unable to open its doors at the start of the season on March 23.

Staff said it was the coldest start to the year they’ve ever known as they tried in vain to warm up air and water temperatures with industrial heaters overnight.

But now, the Sun Centre is back up and running said Ian Turley, general manager of Clwyd Leisure.

WREXHAM FC: Our photographer, Hadyn Iball has described the atmosphere at Wembley ahead of Wrexham's clash against Newport this afternoon.

Hadyn said "excitement is building in the stadium and the atmosphere is intense" with many fans pinning their hopes on today's game.
